  Shayzerbeam2 asked:

  Antique salvage? Are there any antique salvage stores in Sacramento? Like places that would have old hardware or fixtures from historic/older houses? We have so many Victorians around town, it seems odd there’s not somewhere that homeowners can get diy parts (I’m trying to find some 1930’s light fixture replacement parts.) I’ve been to some in the Bay Area and in Oregon but I’m having a hard time finding somewhere similar here. Not looking for an antique store like on Xst…

  

  Much2Laconic replied:

  [Habitat for Humanity ReStores](https://www.habitat.org/restores) have all kinds of furniture and fixtures, but it's usually pretty recent stuff. You might need to talk to contractors who restore Victorians to find out if there are any places like you're describing.

  CookingPapa23 asked:

  Is there anywhere that sells bariatric furniture/equipment? I am having trouble with the common furniture you get in stores or online. Does anyone know where I can find bariatric furniture or equipment - preferably second hand. What little I can find online seems to be very expensive and not in the state. Would like preferably used hospital equipment or care-facility furniture. Ann Arbor area is preferred but will travel to test the right equipment. Please only answer if you can help. Trolls/joke answers will be reported to the mods.

  Try calling your local ReStore, and specifically ask them about bariatric furniture. https://www.habitat.org/restores

  pastmiss asked:

  What’s the cheapest way to replace a kitchen sink? I would like to replace the kitchen sink in our house. It’s a ~1980s modular home. My biggest reason for wanting to replace is shallow basins combined with short faucet...everything feels crammed. I like the double basins just fine, and the depth is acceptable if the faucet would just be taller. I’d also like a pull-away sprayer on the faucet. My husband and his dad can install the sink/fixtures, so we wouldn’t have to hire a plumber or whatever for installation. Just looking for recommendations for affordable (this is a house that we get to use through my husbands work, so we don’t want to invest a ton of money into it, just make it more pleasant) and simple ways to replace the kitchen sink. Any tips are appreciated.

  Scope out the offerings at the [Habitat for Humanity Restore](https://www.habitat.org/restores). Depending on luck, you may have to go there a couple of times that matches your tastes and size.

  RonDerpundy asked:

  Looking to remodel kitchen. Any stores in area that can help me start? We recently bought a house in the area looking to remodel our kitchen. The cabinets are fine but we're looking for new quartz countertops, backsplash, and lighting, as well a fresh paint job. Any idea what locations in the area would be the best place to start? I've checked out Lowes and Home Depot, but am not aware of any specialty stores that may have other options. Thanks in advance for any help! Also, I don't mind traveling a bit, whether it is Plymouth, Elkhart, etc, so places outside of South Bend are fine too.

  Where can I find a rustic brass or antique brass plate to cover this ugliness? Amazon isn't really doing anything for me.

  Denise M. asked:

  This is my first year doing a haunt through a portion of my house (in the past it's just been outside) and I'm looking for a carpet runner for my hardwood floor so it doesn't get damaged. Does anyone know where I can get one cheap?? -- need approx 20' long. Home Depot sells it by the foot @ $4.99, but I don't really want to spend $100.

  

  Andrew G. replied:

  do you have any ReStores near you ? Those are the habitat for humanity stores that sell all housing and building donations. Much of the time it is new stuff donated by the big-box places. Their stock will be hit and miss but you can't beat their low prices PLSU no tax (charity). http://www.habitat.org/restores

  Does anyone know of any FB pages, websites, or resale/thrift store like shops we can look into buying furniture to restore? Obviously we don't want complete junk but not something to expensive either; we are wanting to do some furniture projects for the new house! Thanks!
